Chapter 71 Soto City?
The next morning, Shi Lin got up early.
After a good night's sleep, Shi Lin felt refreshed and his spiritual energy, which he had exhausted the night before, had been fully restored.
"It's time to think of a way to get our family out of the threat from Yan Jin and the Xiao family." Shi Lin stretched and then climbed out of his warm bed.
After a quick wash, Shi Lin went to the basement and transferred some Gu worms to his personal space.
In this way, these Gu worms are in the personal space, making it easier and faster to change the contract. After all, who knows if Xiao Tianhe will send assassins again next time?
Keeping these things close to your body is the right way to do it.
After tidying up, Shi Lin came out of his room.
He walked towards Shi Zhen's courtyard.
Shi Lin walked this road last night, so he remembers it very clearly.
Soon Shi Lin arrived at Shi Zhen's place.
At this moment, Shi Zhen was chatting with the manager of a merchant caravan in his courtyard.
Because the Shi family has transformed into a supplier, many caravans have gone to the Shi family to discuss the wholesale and retail of Shi family wines and spirits.
Therefore, many wealthy merchants came and went in the Shi family's manor.
"Young Master, the Master is chatting with the caravan manager. Would you like to come in later?" a servant said respectfully to Shi Lin.
"Okay, I'll rest for a bit." Shi Lin nodded, then found a place to sit down and quietly waited for Shi Zhen to finish his business.
Shi Lin sat in the courtyard and began to think about what kind of power he should seek to protect the Shi family.
After all, unaffiliated individuals are untrustworthy, and as for the Soul Master families, they look down on the Shi family.
Finding a force that could protect them was out of the question; that would drain the Shi family dry.
Half an hour later, the two people in the room came out of the study.
"Master Shi, it's a pleasure doing business with you. The quality of your wines is truly exceptional," a richly dressed merchant said with a smile to Shi Zhen.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you. I'll be at the brewery later, and Fugui will deliver the goods to you. By the way, please bring me a jar of Soto City's top-grade Hibiscus Brew. I also need to study it to improve the quality of our brewery's wines." Shi Zhen saw the man out of the study with a smile on his face.
"Of course, don't worry, Patriarch Shi. I will send you a jar of Hibiscus Wine in half a month. Farewell." The merchant waved to Shi Zhen and then left the courtyard.
After watching the merchants leave completely, Shi Lin came to Shi Zhen's side.
"Father, what is this...?" Shi Lin asked about the merchant's retreating figure.
"The wine merchants in Soto City have ordered five hundred jars of wine. By the way, son, we've been selling a lot of wine lately, so we need you to make some more wine Gu, otherwise we won't have enough." Shi Zhen patted Shi Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Soto City?" Shi Lin ignored Shi Zhen's other words and only noticed the three words "Soto City".
In fact, the first person Shi Lin wanted to win over was Shrek Academy.
That academy is full of unofficial Soul Kings and Soul Saints.
This is no small force.
However, the Shi family only had one pig farm before, and it was impossible to support a Soul Master Academy with a pig farm.
Therefore, Shi Lin didn't dare to even dream of getting involved with Shrek Academy.
Now that the Shi family's liquor business has expanded many times over, they are able to support an academy. Therefore, Shi Lin can write to Shrek Academy and invite Flander to build the academy here.
After all, Shrek Academy doesn't have any assets right now, so it can be rebuilt here directly.
As for Yan Jin, Shi Lin didn't actually think highly of him.
Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake; the Heaven Dou Empire has given Yan Jin far too little help!
In the end, the confrontation between Yan Jin and Xiao Tianhe will inevitably end with Yan Jin admitting defeat.
Once Yan Jin admits defeat, the Shi family will likely not survive.
"Son, what are you thinking about? When do you have time to refine some wine Gu?" Shi Zhen patted Shi Lin on the shoulder and then said to him.
"Huh? Wine Gu? Make some when you have time. I can make quite a few wine Gu a day now." Shi Lin came back to his senses and said to Shi Zhen casually.
"By the way, Dad, I still need to acquire more soul beast corpses, but only hundred-year-old soul beasts. I also need to purchase some top-grade wines. I want to try using these special wines to refine a supreme-grade wine Gu. After all, the more supreme-grade wine Gu, the better," Shi Lin said to Shi Zhen.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Shi Zhen nodded in agreement. In fact, Shi Zhen was also buying high-quality wines, but the winery had only just started supplying them, and the caravans that had bought the wines had not yet returned.
The Supreme Grade Wine Gu was of immense help to Shi Zhen, directly enabling him to become a Soul Master.
With the blessing of the superior-grade wine Gu and the supreme-grade wine Gu, Shi Zhen believed that he could break through level 10 within two years and absorb his first soul ring.
Although Shi Zhen was old, the superior-grade wine Gu didn't care about age; it just kept helping him improve his strength.
"By the way, son, what brings you here?" Shi Zhen suddenly remembered something and asked Shi Lin.
"Regarding Yan Jin and Xiao Tianhe, although they've been relatively quiet lately, they both want us dead. So, Dad, spend more money to find out about Yan Jin in Heaven Dou City. As for Xiao Tianhe..." Shi Lin frowned.
"Xiao Tianhe and Yan Jin have started to confront each other directly. Yan Jin's condition has not been very good recently, after all, he was sent down from Heaven Dou City." Shi Zhen shrugged and said to Shi Lin.
"If Yan Jin loses, our family will be in an awkward position," Shi Lin said with a hint of worry, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Don't worry, the battle between these two won't end easily anytime soon. After all, Yan Jin is someone sent by the Heaven Dou Empire. Xiao Tianhe won't kill Yan Jin. Besides, I gave Yan Jin 300,000 gold soul coins a few days ago, which should be of some use." Shi Zhen waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"No, then we need to find another backer," Shi Lin said with a sigh.
His own father was giving Yan Jin a bit too much credit.
"This needs to be considered carefully. If all else fails, we can invite two Soul Masters to stay at home and keep watch," Shi Zhen said to Shi Lin.
"Let me think of another way." Shi Lin stroked his chin, considering whether to send an invitation to Shrek Academy.
In addition, he needs to come up with a reason to reasonably tell Shi Zhen what he knows about Shrek Academy.
Shi Zhen couldn't understand why this was brought up so suddenly.
Although Shi Zhen will unconditionally support Shi Lin.
"Father, I'm going back to refine the wine Gu." Shi Lin waved to Shi Zhen, then turned and left.
"Don't focus on refining Gu worms, you should also make good use of your time to cultivate," Shi Zhen said earnestly to Shi Lin.
"Don't worry, Dad." Shi Lin waved his hand and then left Shi Zhen's courtyard.
The next step is to find a way to recruit Shrek Academy.
